Got a suggestion for an app that should be portable? Post it here.

Start.PortableApps Search Plugin for Firefox(Portable)

Submitted by Augi on May 15, 2009 - 2:53am

I understand why PA can't have FFP use start.portableapps.com as the default homepage. However, could PA have a FF search plugin within FFP? Instead of that nice little G that does most of our searching for us, why not a redirect through Start? I cannot find the page specifically, however, I recall a thread that said PA receives money from Google for every search performed through the PA Start.

Is this true? Is this legal? Might we be able to make this side some more moolah? Will the dynamic duo avert dastardly danger?

PyS60 Emulator Needed

Submitted by yeeping50 on May 15, 2009 - 1:46am

Dear Portable Apps,

Can anyone make a Portable PyS60 Emulator which simulate a Nokia high end phone enviornment cause I can't affort to buy one. My work place's computer also doesn't allow me to install the Emulator permenently. I was thinking maybe I can put it in a pen drive and allow me to write a Mobile Python Apps while on the go. Many thanks.

The below link will bring you to the PyS60 site. Look under topic "Emulator Installation" and try to make it portable. Thanks in advance.

OCR

Submitted by Christian Hartmann on May 12, 2009 - 11:52am

I know there was already some talking about it. But not very clearly
So I insist:
an OCR to use wherever you are would be useful for a lot of people

I know, GOCR is not the very best, but it seems to respond to the requirements of portable apps:
GOCR is an OCR (Optical Character Recognition) program, developed under the GNU Public License. It converts scanned images of text back to text files. Joerg Schulenburg started the program, and now leads a team of developers.
